[QUOTE="Cowboybillybob1, post: 118049, member: 11894"] Pixels does not make a camera. Just because The D5200 has 24MP over the D7000's 16MP does not mean it has better IQ. I never print more than 8X10 and unless you are making posters the 5200 is not automatically better because of pixels. The ISO performance of the D7000 is well known. It is one of its strong points. Among some of the things you mention is the build quality, Magnesium alloy vs plastic on the 5200. 7000 is better sealed against dust and the elements. The 5200 does 12 bit RW while the 7000 goes up to 14 bit. The 7000 does Commander Mode while the 5200 does not. This was actually one of the main features I was looking for. Lighting is at least 75% of a quality photo and the 7000 kicks booty with the options available. In fact just going through the menu will illustrate the options and versatility of the 7000 compared to the 5200. Faster max shutter speed and sync. along with two SD card slots that can be configured in a few different ways... Overflow, Copy, or split Movie and pics or RAW and JPEG. Don't get me wrong the D5200 is a fantastic entry level camera the D7000 just has way more options and is a bit more like a pro camera. [/QUOTE]
